NEWS OF THE WEEK: Miley Cyrus reveals reason for previous rift with Billy Ray Cyrus
Last month, the Flowers hitmaker revealed she and her father had "done a lot of healing" following long-standing feud rumours. Speaking to The New York Times recently, Miley indicated her parents' divorce after nearly three decades together led to the conflict. "I think timing is everything. As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents - because my mom's really loved my dad for her whole life and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard.'

‘What?': 19-year-old's comment to 23-year-old at work unearths wild trend
A young woman is going viral for sharing the comment made to her at work that left her saying, 'What?' US worker Francesca, 23, went viral after she shared a comment from an intern at work that left her floored. She complained that after telling a 19-year-old intern her age, the intern replied, 'You look good for your age'. Francesca was shocked and took to social media, adding, the comment made her say, 'Babe what?' Francesca's viral post prompted other workers to share their horrifying encounters with interns or anyone under 21 years old. What became abundantly clear is the younger Gen Zers are turning on the older Gen Zers. So even if you're part of the youngest working generation you can still be made to feel old at work. No one is safe …. And let's not even start on how Millennials are getting treated. 'Try being 27. They act like I'm their mother's age,' one warned. Someone else shared that she gets told she 'looks so young,' which makes her mad because she considers herself young. 'I would have called HR,' another joked. 'That is a fireable offence,' one claimed. 'Wait till you hit 29, and people tell you, 'OMG, you don't look 29. You look so young,' another shared. 'Imagine being 29, they act like I'm on the brink of death,' someone else echoed. 'I'm 28 they call me grandma,' someone else confessed. A 24-year-old said she'd been made to feel 'ancient' lately because of a gaggle of 19-year-old interns. A 28-year-old man said that when he shared his age at work, his younger co-worker looked genuinely sad for him. 'I told my co-worker I was turning 28 he looked back at me and said 'no' with the saddest face as if I was going to die right then and there,' he said. Someone else shared a harrowing tale of overhearing an intern describe someone as 'old' when he was only 24. 'I had to walk away. These interns are something this year,' she admitted. Someone else said the whole encounter was 'low-key concerning' and not great for society. 'Why is the age that's considered old getting younger and younger? The implications this has is potentially devastating,' they claimed.

Meghan speaks out after posting viral ‘cringe' video of birthing suite dance
Meghan appears to have brushed off criticism of her 'cringe' pregnant dance video, declaring that she's 'so excited' about the future in a new post. The Duchess of Sussex used the official Instagram page of her brand, As Ever, to share a new picture of herself on the beach in a white sleeveless dress, writing: 'So excited for all the good to come! Running into the weekend like [wave emoji].' It came just days after Meghan divided followers with the release of a throwback video in honour of her and Prince Harry's daughter's fourth birthday, which featured the pair of them taking part in a viral TikTok dance challenge in the birthing suite on the day she was born. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' she captioned the video of the couple dancing to the 'Baby Mama Dance Song'. While it appeared to be designed as a relatable moment, it didn't quite land with a lot of her followers, who branded it 'peak cringe'. 'I feel nauseous,' one person tweeted in reaction to the clip. 'Oh my,' added another. 'That's … really … awful.' 'They are cringe to the max!' a third remarked. Some, however, offered their support: 'This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it's hot. They look like they have so much fun together.' 'Bet Lili came quickly after those dance moves. It helps,' added one user. 'I love this so much. Who knew that Prince Harry & Meghan Markle were hot steppers?' said another. Meghan also shared a video showing how her family celebrated Lili's fourth birthday, with she and Harry taking their two kids to Disneyland for 'two days of pure joy'. Despite all four of them featuring in the footage, Meghan continued her policy of covering the children's faces, using emojis to obscure their appearances.

Sad truth behind Bruce Willis' final on-screen performances
Whether he's single-handedly taking down terrorists in the Die Hard franchise or evading mobsters in Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis can be counted on to win any screen battle. Sure, he has sought to challenge his singlet-wearing, against-the-odds hero reputation with memorable performances in films such as Look Who's Talking, The Sixth Sense and Death Becomes Her, but Willis will always be best known as the guy who saves the day. That's perhaps why the cinematic strongman's diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia came as such a shock to his fans around the world when it was announced by his family in February 2023. After a career spanning 40 years – first making his mark in the TV series Moonlighting in the 1980s – the veteran actor was forced to retreat from the spotlight in March 2022 due to his deteriorating health. This difficult and private battle will be detailed in his wife Emma Heming Willis's upcoming memoir The Unexpected Journey, due to be released in September. Before making his condition public, Willis had found ways to soldier on with his acting, having directors scale down his dialogue and getting a trusted friend to feed him his lines through an earpiece on films such as Assassin and the Detective Knight series. Willis's deterioration wasn't immediately obvious to anyone on-screen or off. Burdened with a crippling stutter as a child, Willis always had a slow speech pattern – so his inner circle wasn't overly concerned when he began stumbling over his words a little more than usual. Far from seeing the stutter as a hindrance when embarking on his career, Willis explained to TV host Michael Parkinson that his speech impediment had put him on the path to stardom. 'It's how I got my sense of humour, because I realised, yeah I stutter, but I could make people laugh by doing stupid stuff,' he shared on Parkinson's TV show. 'I also learned that when I got on stage, I magically stopped stuttering. You can still hear a little bit of it in my voice. You'll still hear that little pause in my voice while I catch myself and think about what I want to say next.' Now, it's Heming Willis who will get the last word on his behalf, explaining that she's written about her 70-year-old husband's decline to help others headed on the same journey. 'I really wrote the book that I wish someone had handed me the day we got our diagnosis with no hope, no direction … not much,' Heming Willis shared on Instagram, choking back tears. 'Today life looks different for me and our family because I was able to put support into place.' After the death of 95-year-old screen legend Gene Hackman and his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa, in February this year, Heming Willis urged her social media followers to see the tragedy as 'a teaching moment' about the toll of caring for people with dementia. Like Heming Willis, who turns 47 this month, 65-year-old Arakawa had been caring for her much older Hollywood star husband as he was ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. The double Oscar-winner died after Arakawa suddenly passed away, leaving Hackman alone in their home and unable to fend for himself. 'Caregivers need care too,' Heming Willis said in her post. 'They are vital. And it's so important that we show up for them so that they can continue to show up for their person.' Willis certainly has a village of support around him, including his ex-wife Demi Moore and their three adult daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31. Oscar-nominee Moore has remained close to her ex since they finalised their divorce 25 years ago, even bunkering down with him and their daughters during the pandemic. The women are also regular fixtures at important milestones for Heming Willis's two daughters with Willis, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. In an interview with CNN, Moore admitted that watching her ex's decline has been difficult for all of them. 'But there is also great beauty and gifts that can come out of it,' she added. 'It's so important for anyone dealing with it to meet them where they are at.' Celebrate Willis's remarkable career by watching these three films now streaming on Tubi. The Player: Having joked that he was 'tired of running down the street with a gun in my hand' on Parkinson, Willis poked fun at his action-man persona with a cameo as himself in this black comedy about Hollywood directed by Robert Altman. Hostage: Willis teams up with his then teenage daughter Rumer in this film about a traumatised police hostage negotiator, who is forced back into action when his own family is kidnapped. Midnight In The Switchgrass: Based on the true story of Texas's most dangerous serial killer, Willis and Megan Fox play FBI agents determined to hunt him down.
